To Infinity… @ The Planetarium

We’re over the moon (pun intended) to be returning to the Planetarium at We The Curious in 2024 after two years away. A fire closed this beloved venue’s doors, but now that’s it back, we’ve got a stellar series of space and sci-fi screenings lined up!

Explore the Planetarium’s Space exhibition before the screening and see if you’re cut out for a life in space, then recline in this unique screening space. As the lights dim, your journey will begin with a tour of the Solar System in a Planetarium star show - the perfect way to set the scene for your film…

COCOON at The Planetarium

Like its OAP protagonists, this comedy-drama has aged beautifully

For April’s Planetarium outing, we’re hosting a double bill of sci-fi films from the acclaimed director Ron Howard. First up is a 40th anniversary screening of Cocoon. This heartwarming tale may have E.T. influences, but it’s got a very human heart as it explores youth and ageing in a timeless manner. No wonder actor Don Ameche took home an Oscar for this gem.

This was the first silver screen outing for the team of mutant superheroes, and introduced the world to Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, Ian McKellen’s Magneto, Halle Berry’s Storm - oh, and some singer/actor called Hugh Jackman as Wolverine…
